Thank you, Mark. Could you please elaborate on the point you raise?
E.g. what are considered reasons for having several versions of the same reference? I have 5170j and 5170g, because the g was issued later and I liked it much better than the j. 5711/1A 001 and 5711/1A 010 because 5711 is my favorite PP. 5227g 001 and 5227g 010 because 001 is almost a Plato "Ideal" (the essence of a watch) and 010 is absolutely, totally breathtaking. 5146p and 5450p (effectively also a 5146) because they share the same robust yet beautiful case but have a totally different dial.
Pairs
On the off chance that watches can get lonely too, I prefer to collect them in pairs....
Wahoooo!
5550p would be my favourite But I love them all! Great tastes. 5711 or 3700?
I have never thoght about pairs as such
but in the Patek world still have a couple: 3738 & 5738 3700 & 3700 5960A & 5960P 5711 & 5980 3712 & 5712 5450 & 5550 5110P & 5110G 5110J & 5110R 5196P & 5134P... A second thought: perhaps I have all the time been thinking in pairs. But still there are se...
Oh nooooooooooo Kari!
I was aiming to have all four 5110 WTs (I only own P and R) , and thought that was a rare or even unique collection. But of course, you have all four :-( ;-)
That was an "accident"
I once thought that if I would find the missing three in NOS, complete, open papers, etc. I would get those. And it just happened. I am thinking that I would borrow the whole bunch to a more experienced Purist and ask him to review and compare them all. B...
That's a very interesting way to choose your watches
What I learned is that getting several versions of a reference is something very understandable. Enjoy your watches Rainer. Cheers.
